The small disciplines or small errors in judgement!

If you add up the small daily disciplines or errors in judgement then you can see what the sum total is but never till its too late.
It is not the big decisions we make that cause the greatest change but actually the 50 or more small decisions that affect us long term.
If I decide between skipping breakfast (error in judgement) or making time to have some eggs or museli and yoghurt (daily discipline ).
If I decide to watch that evening sitcom or walk the dog
If I decide to call a friend to encourage them to workout with me or catchup to go shopping
If I decide to have the cheesecake or opt for a piece of fruit and some raw nuts
If I decide to spend 30 minutes on the treadmill @ low intensity or spend 8 lots of high intensity sprints.
If I decide to put aside $20 for a rainy day or spend it on that “special”
If I decide to pack my lunch the night before or buy takeaway from the noodle shop
If I spend 15 minutes reading a nutrition book or delve into a romance/drama novel
If I reply to that unanswered email or surf the net
If I add vegies to my meal or opt for that microwave meal
If I take my multivitamin and mineral supplement as preventative or take a pharmaceutical for my symptomatic cold
If I choose a top quality omega 3 supplement or have a mercury contaminated fish fillet
None of these choices are necessarily bad or good but they add up over time to an outcome.
